I will not take up much of your time. My name is Ilya Galak; I am a member of the Republican Party and manager to one of the most influential TV and radio personas in America’s Russian media, Victor Topaller. We consider Fox News a valuable source of information in a sea of dirt and lies. The same can be said about your show which I rarely miss.

The reason for this letter is a segment aired on Mar 17, 2014. My colleagues and I are appalled at the tone and nature of the aforementioned segment. What especially gets to us is how a couple of drunks are put forward as the voice and representation of our community. Not only is this embarrassing but a plain cheap shot at us. Let me assure you that most immigrants from the former Soviet Union are conservative in their views and see Putin as taking advantage of this administration’s weakness. All I want is to tell a person I very much respect the truth. I wouldn’t want thousands of Russians in this country to change their view of Fox News.
